Biography
Professor Yingmin Jia is a Professor and PhD Supervisor in the School of Automation Science and Electrical Engineering at Beihang University, Beijing, China. He received his B.S. degree in Control Theory from Shandong University in 1982, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Automatic Control Theory and Applications from Beihang University in 1990 and 1993, respectively. He subsequently completed postdoctoral research in aeronautics and astronautics at Beihang University.
His research covers robust and adaptive control, intelligent control, artificial life and machine learning, cross-scale control, and motion reproduction. His work also includes applications of advanced control methods to robotic systems, multi-agent systems, vehicle systems, and aerospace systems.
Professor Jia has received a number of major academic and scientific distinctions. He was supported by the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars in 1996, became a distinguished professor under the Chang Jiang Scholars Program in 2004, and was recognized as a National Excellent Postdoctoral Researcher in 2005. He later served as Chief Scientist of a National 973 Program project and led major national scientific instrumentation research projects.
Advanced Control, Intelligent Systems, and Aerospace Applications
Professor Jia's research centers on the theory and engineering applications of advanced control and intelligent systems. A major theme of his work is the development of robust and adaptive control methods for complex dynamic systems subject to uncertainty, nonlinear behavior, and demanding performance requirements.
His research also extends to intelligent control, machine learning, multi-agent coordination, robotics, and aerospace systems. These topics connect fundamental control theory with practical problems in autonomous systems, robotic platforms, distributed systems, and complex aerospace applications.
